Like walking through the orchard on the eve of harvest, Moussé ‘Eugene’ is a rich and expressive bubbly infusing our happy palates with the flavors of Autumn. Harnessing Pinot Meunier’s deep and generous side, this fuller Champagne delivers ripe pears, candied stone fruits and a long gentle finish. Dry, persistent and captivating! Among the oldest of the “grower producers”, Cedric Moussé leads a fully organic operation in the Valle de la Marne, home to Pinot Meunier. The Mousse family has been farming Meunier for many years, crafting pure wines of age-ability, culminating in this grape’s first entry into the Special Club.
